[DwayneNLiz]

Well only 3 lived my cat got a hold of the other 4
One of them has curled toes and one of them has splayed legs but the last one is doing good

So sorry

Is that really something you wish to admit?
Only If you are taking the extra extra chicks.
Thank you! I was thinking the same thing!

lol u gonna ship 'em?

I totally posted something my daughter said, on the wrong thread earlier. Ooops.

"[COLOR=333333]My daughter just asked me when she grows up, if she could marry a stick bug... then goes... well, I guess I really wouldn't want to marry one, they can't do the dishes."[/COLOR]

[COLOR=333333]I survived church, plus running errands. Now I'm home.[/COLOR]

[COLOR=333333]No other eggs have pipped, and the little chick that's in there, is acting antsy. It was hopping around when I came int othe bathroom to check on it. I'm tempted to take it out and put it in the brooder. Not sure if I should, or not yet... but it's knocking all the other eggs around in there, with no signs of them hatching yet.[/COLOR]

I don't know what to do

i saw u got help nvm

Would it work on a quail because it's so tiny

Yes!!

that's hilarious!!

MY chick's mostly dry, my silkies arrived on the 31st of august, so they are just under 3 weeks old, and pretty mellow/tiny, so I was going to see about sticking her in there with them, (carefully) if they aren't nice to her, I can just move them back to the dog crate, and put a stuffed animal in there....

I just am not sure exactly when I should move her, since she's pushing all the other eggs around in there. None of the eggs are in their original positions. LOL

It's ok

@DwayneNLiz If that hen doesn't get off the nest within the hour, you will be adopting the chicks! You had to tell me to "do it" didn't you?

ROFL!!! If u ship!!

I'm going to kill my husband. He just let one of our barn cats inside and it killed one fo my daughters silkies... Can I shoot my husband? Seriously... ***.

His response was "I didn't know it would do that"

What do you THINK a barn cat is going to do? 

My daughter is balling her eyes out over it. UGH.

Stupid silkies cost us a lot more then a regular chicken, and I don't think I can get anymore until next year from the hatcheries.

grrrrrrrrr

I will let you know how it goes or if we need to order a new thermostat and I f I order a new thermostat is here any at you reccomend. To have some other options that may be more accurate I had in just plugged in my incubator and the probe was in the same spot just above the eggs and every time I opened it to turn the eggs and the temp came back up it would read a different temp each time and stay there.

Here's a couple more ways of looking at it.
You can just eliminate all the wiring for cooling.
A hot wire goes into L1 and the first heat connection. The sensor switches that on so you get output on the other heat connection.

I know that's how many feel.
Snakes and bucket traps are more effective and I've never had either kill a chick.
A stairway to heaven bucket trap can kill more mice/rats in a night than a cat would bother with.
Snakes get into places cats can't and where the mice hide.

The hen ships tomorrow.

Awesome. I hope you're getting a tracking #. Let me know what kind of shipping box it comes in. Are you paying for the box and shipping?

For the price, you can't beat a STC-1000. A wafer is another option.
I've used this one that is very precise but failed after about a year.
It runs on 12V DC

  yer all scaring me bout cats!!

I have been raising chicks in my house for 3 years now and I have 6 indoor only cats. No losses due to cats, in fact, one of my cats is very maternal about the chicks and let them climb all over her.

She's a good sport about most things though.

Yeah, my indoor only cats are good kitties and won't mess with my daughters frogs, or the brooders.... Indoor/outdoor cats are a different ball of fish, and barn cats are evil little .... badnamehere.
